yes and no :L Yes because its a big bill, but no if you conside the costs of a NPPL or PPL, just a thought :L But i was reading a thread about pricings of this, and someone mentioned about how they are exspensive fof what they are, which i thought was a good point, and im wonderin why no chinese company has produced them much cheaper yet?

aha great :L

Is the facebook page just for flyers in essex, or could i sign up, just to see when people are flying near me to visit, or am i jumping into a conversation i should'nt jump into?? lol

Hi Stu Im Michael, although helpful to shorten it down to Mike, or even if you wanna use my nickname, its spike ( not sure why )

Thanks, will send the pm now, :L interesting thought, not sure whether that would be a good thing or not, ... depending on what it is i guess... :L aha and does anyone mind me using peoples first names? so i get to know everyone a bit better, so if in the future and im flying, i'll know some people?? Thanks Mike

Thank you, have just sent him another pm to see when he is flying, and whether i could watch him and ask questions, will wait for a reply

will do, and thanks fingers crossed

I emailed him over facebook and he gave me loads of great advice! although alot of it contained needing money again, i will pm you the conversation so you can take a look if you want Mike

Hi, i will certainly try and get to some airfields where the do this, but im not sure who to call or where to find out, im completely lost about trying to find places, as i don't even see any fly near me to follow to where they land :L aha, any ideas? Thanks Mike

Thanks alot, as someone already said, im 15, 16 on bonfire night and usually people tend to now get anxious and want to spend money anyway, but im glad you've said to save my money, but could you possibly elaborate on that? Im not sure how i could do anything, without spending money? And is anyone flying near Spalding this weekend? Free all weekend which is a surprise as im not usually due to cadets and other things, and would love to come see some people fly and have a chat with some of you! Thanks Mike

EDIT@ Another thing, that i thought i'd put in this thread, is i see most people can break several propellers? how much are replacements? i keep finding them for £400, and im worryed that if it is as common as they seem to be on youtube, then what do people do about this?

Evening everyone again!, I was making some calculations, and ive worked out, that if i dont spend a penny, and save, and ask for money for Christmas/ birthday etc. and work over Christmas, by January i will have £1000, but obviously i will still be £2000 min short of getting everything, but what should i do? im dieing to get started! every thing im doing is watching videos, there so good Anyone offer any advice? Thanks Mike

thanks that would be rather daft lol....

good point, didnt think about weight and wing tips... any reviews on these anywhere?

Evening everyone Just looking to see if there are any fields near me that do this, or anyone that flys near me? Im located just outside Spalding, and would really like to know if anyone flys from there, and would'nt mind me coming to take a look at you flying, maybe even this weekend if you don't mind? Thanks Mike PS: Does this forum mind multi thread posting, or not? almost got banned from a previous forum ( non paramotor related) as apparently posting 3 or more threads in one day is a crime ehe

Glad you liked it, and will jump on over to his blog, Thanks Mike

hmm, im sure there will be alot of discussion on these, i think these are good if im looking at them right, its £58.70 thats not bad, if its gunna make you visible, then money well spelt, even if you look a bit of a muppet

Hi, just thought id apologise first, im new on this forum, and maybe asking to much already :L, Just a thought, and maybe its already there but i missed it?? There are Training blog's, but what about flying blog's, extend the training blog, and have a "life blog" so anyone can start a blog, and just right about there day flight, how it went, upload images, just for a chance to share things. I read about someone who wrote that they woke up, realised the wind had dropped, and fell back to sleep, would be funny if they could post that in a blog titled under there name, then we can see what there doing in the way of flying, then maybe every month, have a competition for best blog with videos and images or something? Just a thought, sorry if its already on the forum, and tell me to look harder :L Thanks alot Mike PS: been on this forum for 3 days ( i think) and already in love with it, and have it saved to open as soon as my comp is loaded :L

Great video, and some really nice shots Mike

It is indeed mate, incredible, and definetly got me buzzing to get flying and ok.. will find that, then delete this one

Thanks , I never thought of plugging in, can picture it now.. slowly flying over the flat land of lincolnshire with the sun setting with coldplay slowing playing in the background :L aha Thats not to bad i guess, so how many people actually do fly PPG in the Uk? Thanks Mike

Hi everyone I was just browsing through youtube when i located this video that was put up this morning, anyone already posted this? let me know then i'll get rid of it Enjoy Not bad filming by whoever made it Mike

Thanks alot, I certainly will be keeping within my limits whilest in flight, and on the ground, and will get the best training possible Thanks Mike

Thanks, i will do indeed although suprisingly where i am, its been a good year for weather, im not sure why? compared to everyone else in the country, we seemed to have got it nice :L

That statistic was excatly what i was looking for, thank you !
